The Phillies deal with Madson prior to fall thru was 4 years/$44 Mil. If that's true, the Phillies overpaid by a lot. I know...still not as stupid as us (though its not Cashmans fault). We gave Soriano 3 years/$35 Mil to just set up...thats nearly the equal annual salary as Papelbon just got to close. You are spot on. At $11.5MM last year for Soriano, we got about $100.00 worth of value.

BigGuy Posts: 38,564	Phillies sign Jonathan Papelbon By Joe Pawlikowski Jonathan Papelbon has faced the Yankees 46 times in his career, but it could be a long time until he reaches appearance No. 47. After spending the first seven seasons of his big league career with the Red Sox, Papelbon will pitch for the Phillies in 2012 and beyond. Jim Salisbury of Comcast SportsNet reports that the Phillies have signed Papelbon to be their closer. That pushes out Ryan Madson, with whom the Phillies reportedly had a deal earlier in the week. That apparently was a false report and was never as far along as reports indicted. There’s no word on contract terms yet, but that’s just a matter of time. Papelbon is one face that Yankees fans won’t mind missing, though he has been part to some of our favorite comebacks in the past few years. Update (2:39 p.m.): Salisbury tweets that the deal is “four years and approaches $50 million.” That’s definitely the kind of payday Papelbon has repeatedly said he seeks in free agency. riveraveblues.com/2011/11/phillies-sign-...

The Red Sox are the only team out of the 3 where the closer job has a chance to be had by Madson.

Cleese Posts: 4,180	Assuming Papelbon deal gets finalized, it would be largest package ever for a reliever. Surpassing the 5 Yr/$47 M BJ Ryan got from Toronto.
